From The Mouth Of Abigale
Just a collection of moments to remember.
(Abby is 3yrs old, and Logan is 1.5yrs old)
*****
Abby: "Mummy, you pump me"
Me: "Um, What?"
Abby: "Mummy, you pump me, OK?!"
Me: "Why don't you show me what you want me to do sweet pea, because Mummy is confused..."
Abby: (motioning with the water-filled hand soap pump) 'Like this Mummy, you pump me!"
Me: "Oy Vey. You mean you want Mummy to squirt you by pumping the bottle?! OK!"
*****
(We are at Reid's Dairy for Ice Cream and hanging at the Playground.)
Me: "OK Abby, we have to get going, it looks like it is going to rain soon."
Abby: "NO!" (insert whiney voice) "I don't want to!"
Me: "One more ride down the slide and we will get going, OK?"
Abby: "OK Mummy."
Me: "Let's shake on it" (holding out my hand)
Abby: (puts her hands on her waist and starts shaking her bootie.)
*****
(We are at a very BUSY grocery store, and both kids are sitting WAY too close to each other in the cart.)
Logan: (SCREAMS)
Me: "Abby! Don't hurt your sister! That is not nice. Please keep your hands to yourself."
Abby: (Yelling Loudly) "You not nice Mummy! You Hurt Abby. You PUNCHED ME!"
Me: (WTF Look on my face, and suddenly very aware of OTHERS around me)
(I most certainly did not punch my child.)
*****
Me: (Washing dishes in the kitchen, Girls on back porch playing in the sand table. Quite Literally.)
Abby: "Come on Logan, let's go this way... Good Logan, come let's go...
Me: (peeking out from kitchen to see Abby leading Logan by the hand back into the house.)
Abby: "Come on Logan, sit down and take off your shoes. That's good Logan!" (looks up to see me there) "Look Mummy, I help Logan!"
Me: (Huge Smile, small tears)
